Presentation

Born in 1980, Michaël Smadja alias Fanatik fell from an early age in drawing and graffiti by copying his favorite characters.

At the age of 16, he stopped drawing to devote himself entirely to his second passion: music.

Internationally recognized DJ for more than 15 years, he put aside plastic art to travel across Europe and it's bigger clubs. 3rd in the world in 2006 in the Dmc team championship.

It was in 2016 that his life changed dramatically when he lost his father. He was her best friend, her confidant and her pillar.

It was during this year of mourning when music was taboo that he returned to his first passion. Like a recess, an obligatory outlet to overcome this terrible ordeal.

Self-taught, he perfected his art by mixing the characters who rocked his childhood with more "street" backgrounds.

Mixing genres with more classic and realistic characters with cartoon characters.

Always on the lookout for new techniques, he improves his works by merging different materials such as collage, spray, wood, glitter and acrylic.
